It is most of the time just hugging and such but it is sometimes hitting or kicking (in a playful way). He is a very affectionate boy and he means well, but I know it makes some other students uncomfortable and I don't know the best way to handle it because I don't want his feelings to be hurt but he needs to respect others space. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would just ensure that a "keep your hands to yourself" rule is apart of your classroom rules. That way, you can simply ask him to follow the classroom rules and to please keep his hands to himself. Another way could be to send a note home so that maybe his parents may talk to him about this issue. Let him know that not everyone is okay with hugging and that they need their own space.
